CHAPTER 123
A few minutes earlier.Faye and Rita walked out of Russell’s room.“You thought too much,” Faye said. “He wasn’t going to get revenge for the past. You’ve got it completely wrong.”“I know, but the situation made me think like that,” Rita was also upset with herself. “I knew he wasn’t going to betray us, but I still got nervous because my reputation was on the line.”Faye couldn’t blame her. “You quit being the CEO of your dad’s company, so succeeding in this deal with Russell will be a big boost to your resume. Are you sure you want to stay out while Caleb is talking?”“Caleb isn’t greedy, so I think he will successfully make the deal.”Her sudden rise of confidence in Caleb made Faye chuckle.“Money can change a person, so I hope Caleb won’t act arrogantly in front of Russell,” Faye said. “That guy is the richest in the world. If he wants, he can utterly crush us and our families with ease. Even if we fail to get the deal, we don’t want to make him our enemy.”Rita didn’t disagree.
CHAPTER 122
“If your reason isn’t satisfying, I will send you home without any deal.”Caleb took in a deep breath. “I’ll be honest, Mr. Russell. It’s been over five years since Creed Zone was built, and you have not expanded it horizontally even by a millimeter, right? You’ve only gone sky-way when you could have easily bought more land and expanded this place.“I liked how you stuck to this piece of land and did not trouble anybody living next to it. It’s not possible without having strong ethics. That’s why I wanted to sell my product to you. Of course, your tech is also quite advanced, so I thought you’d better understand my product.”“Many people have wanted me to expand,” Russell said, “even my grandfather. But my mother told me to have a friendly relationship with my neighbors and to show my creed with my actions. You’re the first outsider who noticed that and spoke positively about it.”“So, do we have a deal?” Caleb asked expectantly.Russell smiled and stood before putting his hand forwa
CHAPTER 121
“I’m sorry for being late,” Caleb rushed in and put his hands on the shoulders of both ladies. “I was admiring the buildings on my way here, so please forgive me.”Faye and Rita felt that he was totally giving an excuse, which wasn’t a good start.“What did you like about the buildings?” Russell asked. His voice was calm, but his gaze was stable. He was keenly observing Caleb.Rita and Faye thought that Caleb just dug himself a pit.“A lot of things,” Caleb said, walking toward the window. “This whole place is like a sweet shop where every sweet tastes fine on the tongue. You love it so much you want to know the recipe. But it’s not easy to decipher. The material used to build the skybridges for instance… it’s mixed with metal and bird bone, right?”“Bird bone?” Faye and Rita thought he was speaking nonsense.But Russell didn’t deny it.Russell looked at the girls and said, “Can I talk with him in private for a minute?”“O-Of course,” Faye and Rita quickly left the room.Caleb sat dow
CHAPTER 120
The mobile dropped from Rita’s hands and crashed on the floor.“He played me, didn’t he?” her whole body trembled with negative emotions. “Is this his way of taking revenge for what happened all those years back? Not only did he cause me to fight with my dad, but now, he’s ruined my reputation. If Russell Lynn talks negatively about me outside, then my career will take a big hit.”She slowly picked up her mobile.Just then, Faye arrived there.“Why do you look like you’ve seen a ghost?” Faye asked. “Are you okay? Did Russell reject our project or something?”“No, I think Caleb isn’t coming,” Rita’s hands still trembled. “I think he set us up.”“What? Why would he…” Faye frowned. “Is there something you’re not telling me?”Rita’s lips pressed together. “Actually, we used to date in the past.”She gave him a brief explanation.“You gotta be kidding me.” Faye touched her forehead. “How could you do such a thing? For five years, you forced him to work for your company?”“I didn’t. My dad
CHAPTER 119
Caleb’s car entered the Creed Zone without any problem.This was his second time coming here, yet he was still awestruck by the architecture.“I couldn’t tell it in the past, but now I’m sure. There is no way that regular humans built these buildings,” Caleb thought.His skill ‘Super Designer’ allowed him to see the structures and what kind of complicated procedures the builders had to go through to build such intricate skyrises.The lower floors were so spacious that entire markets fit inside these thick bases.“A special kind of brick is used to build these things…” Caleb thought. “I can feel some kind of vague energy coming off from them. Not sure what it is, but it feels like it’s extending the life of these buildings..”Caleb’s car was going at a snail pace as he was observing the buildings one after another and how they were connected.He was learning a lot.“Those bridges connecting the skyscrapers… they somehow mixed metal and bird bones in it, making it light yet sturdy. Just
CHAPTER 118
Faye and Rita arrived at the Creed Zone.One could say it was a mini city in itself. The numerous skyscrapers were connected with bridges and vehicles were traveling hundreds of feet above the ground.As their car drove down the sky-road, Rita could see the city from below.“Just how the heck did they build this?” Rita was quite impressed. “Even with all my knowledge, I can’t understand how they put these buildings and bridges together.”“That’s not the scariest part,” Faye said. “There were a few earthquakes in the past few years, but these buildings withstood those tremors.”“Yeah, that’s what boggles me, too. There aren’t even any cracks that I can see on these roads or buildings. It feels surreal.”“It’s just top-class maintenance.”“It’s much more than that.”Soon, they parked their car inside the automated parking slot.They took the elevator to the top floor.The elevator speed and smoothness took both of them by surprise.They reached the top floor in a few seconds.When the e
